Abstract

In order to translate an original circuit consisting of a set of first devices into a target circuit which consists of a set of second devices different from the first devices, and which has the same functions as the original circuit, provision is made of memory means for storing translation rules in the first devices, translation rules in the second devices, and translation rules between the first devices and the second devices, and translation means which successively refers to these translation rules and translates the original circuit data into the target circuit data via steps that translate the original circuit data into a plurality of intermediate data.
